S3WaaS

S3WaaS is a cloud service for government entities to create, customize, manage, and publish informational websites. Each predesigned template includes a content management system, and websites can be hosted on the NIC National Cloud under GOV.IN or NIC.IN domains. A site can use one primary domain and one alias. The platform includes integrated search, responsive layouts for phones, tablets, and desktop computers, and social media integration. It supports bilingual sites with English as the default; unavailable regional interface terms must be translated and sent to support for backend integration. Themes and templates comply with GIGW and are STQC-certified, but added or migrated content still requires certification. S3WaaS automatically applies security patches and core updates and can generate an SSL certificate for each site. It also lists log monitoring and analytics, with a read-only version available if a site fails. Only government entities with an official gov.in or nic.in email address can create a website instance. The free plan costs nothing; paid offerings are bulk packages, with no single-site package under that model.
